Commercial propagation ng genitically modified Golden Rice, lunas sa malnutrisyon

Inaprubahan ng bansa ang produksyong komersyal ng genetically modified GMO Golden Rice. Na inaasahan ng mga eksperto na lalaban sa childhood blindness at makaliligtas ng buhay sa developing world.

Nag-isyu ang biosafety permit ang government regulators na maglilinang sa uri ng bigas. Ito ay mayaman sa vitamin A-precursor beta carotene. Sa ganitong paraan, mas magiging nutritional ito na maaaring itanim at palaguin ng mga magsasaka sa iba’t-ibang panig ng bansa.

It’s a really significant step for our project because it means that we are past this regulatory phase and golden rice will be declared as safe as ordinary rice,” pahayag ng Russell Reinke ng Philippine-based International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) sa AFP.

The next step was to “take our few kilos of seed and multiply it… so it can be made more widely available”, ani Reinkle.

Gumugol ang IRRI ng 2 dekada sa paglinang ng golden rice na may bright yellow hue ang kulay. Katuwang ng ahensiya ang Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute sa nasabing proyekto.

Ang golden rice ang kauna-unahang modified rice na inaprubahan para sa commercial propagation sa South at Southeast Asia.
